My room had great views. The location is great. It is next to the tube station, made getting around very easy. The staff was always very polite and helpful. I found great restaurants and supermarkets near the location.
The furnishings seemed scratched and tired. The lobby area seemed small, so it was difficult when travelling with a group as I was. I found other hotels at almost half the price with similar facilities.
